My hope is that we'll start seeing students for more than their graduation rates, and numbers. School is a time for individual growth, and is far more than just academics. Supporting pursuit of genuine sense of student self in every way and getting that support from administration is hopefully what's to come next.

With mental health coming more into vogue and increasing rates of anxiety/depression, I believe the trend is that mental health counseling will become more of a focus along with academic counseling

The amount of students counselors are responsible for (250:1 I think?). Student mental health is paramount, yet takes time and energy to develop.

Change from guidance counselor to school counselor.

One of our opportunities is for school counselors to receive mental health training in order to better assist youth who are struggling with their mental health, in addition to the academic support that school counselors provide

I see hopefully there being MORE school counselors in schools to prevent the pressure of school change/development to be in the hands of one person. I think that there will be a more preventative model looking at mental health, and understanding what that means.

This year, there has been more of a push for school counselors in my building at least to work preventatively rather than responsively or reactively. But, there's never enough staff to address all of the needs of our students.

I hope that it continues to grow and focus on students as individuals taking into consideration their backgrounds and identities while ensuring they feel safe, valued and supported in exploring life during such a transitional time.

Simply advocating for the position & power of a school counselor can be a barrier. They should be used as an asset while administrators sometimes consider them to be illegitimate or not useful. I think an opportunity is the new generation of professionals! I think we have a greater understanding of cultural context and the importance and influence of mental health.

From talking to other school counselors it seems like the counselor to student ratio could be quite a challenge. I also feel like there are no typical days in a school so I wonder how this impacts the needs of the students and the school counselor.
